Moonshots: Samsung outs a '4D' VR headset, shower singing app, and the Waffle social platform

Read more

Samsung is pushing its Gear VR headset pretty heavily these days, giving it away to early adopters of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and everyone else, like HTC or LG, hopes you will get on the virtual reality bandwagon soon enough. Well, not so fast, as one problem with current '3D' VR headsets is that you might go through the made-up worlds in front of your eyes swooshing like a ghost, but your body is not actually feeling the movements, so you are a kind of a spectator which can make you pretty dizzy.

LG and Cricket Wireless have recently announced the addition of a new budget Android smartphone. Meet the LG Spree, an entry-level LTE smartphone which will go on sale tomorrow for $90 outright. 

If you're tempted to get a secondary phone on prepaid carrier Cricket Wireless, then we guess that the LG Spree might suffice for basic tasks. However, don't expect the handset to be any good for demanding 3D titles, immersive multimedia experiences, or smooth productivity work.

LG today announced its own music service for smartphones, which will debut later this month in 70 countries around the world (including the US, Brazil, the UK, France, Italy, Russia, China, and Australia). 

While the service doesn't seem to have a name of its own yet, LG says that it's going to provide Hi-Fi (high fidelity) music to owners of select Android handsets that support 24-bit playback, like the LG G4, G Flex 2, G3, and G2. The service will be accessible via the LG SmartWorld app, as well as at www.lgworld.com.

LG G3 Prime receives Bluetooth certification; release imminent?

Even though the LG G3 is the flagship handset for LG, some features that were expected on the device, such as IP67 certification and a Snapdragon 805 chip, were nowhere to be found when the device was introduced at the end of May. So that leads us to the rumored LG G3 Prime. Reportedly carrying a model number of LG-F460, this handset is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 805 CPU and offer IP 67 certification. The latter means that the LG G3 could withstand getting submerged in as much as 3 feet of water, for as long as 30 minutes.
